And what does this mean for the cryptocurrency strategy?
According to Bloomberg, the company Strategy Inc, led by Michael Saylor, may be excluded from major stock indices, including Nasdaq 100 and MSCI USA.
The main reason is the new MSCI policy: companies with digital assets exceeding 50% of total assets may be excluded from the indices. Strategy Inc falls under this criterion.
✅ What is known now
Passive funds associated with Strategy Inc are valued at around 9 billion dollars.
If exclusion occurs, liquidation of positions may lead to significant capital outflows.
The final decision is expected by January 15, 2026.
🎯 Why does this matter
Index presence = liquidity and attention. If a company is included in a large index (like the Nasdaq 100), ETFs and other funds are obligated/oriented to hold it. Exclusion means the risk of reduced purchases and increased volatility.
A strategic signal for the cryptocurrency market. Strategy Inc is one of the pioneers that used bitcoin as a corporate reserve asset. Exclusion from the index can serve as a marker of the traditional financial market's attitude towards such strategies.
Risks for shareholders and traders. Stocks may face pressure: price decline, less attention from analysts, possible increase in the cost of capital.
🧠 But there are nuances
Exclusion has not yet occurred — this is a potential risk, not a real fact.
Strategy Inc continues to have support from Saylor and the crypto investor community; its business model is far from standard.
Other index providers may act differently — or have their own criteria.
🔮 What should a cryptocurrency investor do?
If you hold assets in similar 'corporate BTC-casinos' — assess the risks.
If you hold cryptocurrency directly — this case is rather a signal: even large players are not immune to regulatory/index changes.
Keep an eye on the calendar of index providers' decisions and the volumes of passive funds: this can provide early signals.
